Yeh, really disappointed at the moment,

but thanks for the support,

Does anyone live in Southampton, and could pop over and ask them what the status is on the bonnet,

I was told that it would be shipped in September, but have heard nothing

One thing is for sure I will be making a trip to see them when I come to the UK next year.

Does anyone else have any ideas how we can get me my bonnet and make me a happy man again?

I have to say, this fucking stinks.

Anyone that knows this joker please kick him up squarely up the arse. And before you start I don't give a flying fuck that he has been busy blah blah blah, I have heard it all before.

The fact is that he has taken money from overseas for a product and has now gone quiet despite the best efforts of his customers to be reasonable and patient and to try to communicate in a reasonable fashion. NOT FUCKING ON in my book.

THIS, 100% this. No excuse. Running a business is easy, and nobody minds a fuck up if you're honest and sort it out properly.

To just go silent is childish.

I've been having a chat with Ben. He is working hard to get the orders done and will be in touch with the purchasers imminently.

Edit: The morspeed comment is a bit harsh.

I don't see how not replying/emailing/facebooking/refunding is acceptable. It's not a bespoke part. Payment has been made, the only thing left is for the part to be shipped. If there is a delay/issue, then communication is key, not silence.

He has been emailing apparently.

But... the sale was not made via or recommended by TM, so I see no benefit in trying to contact him via Tm. He's not a regular user so is not likely to see it. After all, we have a section for companies that people have had bad experiences with...

Yes true Andy, but personally I have seen one too many of these stories of diabolical service and ignoring people from carbon weezel. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole and I'm sure others think the same.

Update,

I have recieved email from Ben in the last hour,

Again thanks for the support (Alex / James / Tom / Paul R / MarkGTT / Wolfie) to get this moving in right direction,

Rest assured I will keep you updated on developments,

APB, thanks for giving Ben a Kick, and just to note the reason for trying to contact Ben through TM is that I did a search and noticed that he had replied to James in the past here, and since he has been having "email issues" and taken the phone number off the website, this seemed the only option.

Note: for the record the email I just got from Ben is the first I have recieved since Septemder 10th.

Cheers

Brocky

I know how paying for things and getting false hopes and nothing for it is, so i really hope this sorts out and you get either the money or the goods.
